Fixed, sorry!  Thx for catching this. 

[Mr.Scott]

Newest GPUz crashes upon opening.

Newer CPUz's  instant lockup upon opening 99%  of the time

Tested on stock clocks.

For everything other than the reference validation can we use older versions?

I don't see problems when using older versions. So it is perfectly fine. 

Looks like the software from today is simply not made for older systems. It's very bad to see this.

Could you possibly play with the CPU-Z.ini and look which option cause the crash? 

Is this on AMD or Via chipsets?

If you remember , we had that problem with new gen GPU-Z , back in osibs of 2016.

Version up to 0.8.2 works ok

 

About CPU-Z

Must be motherboard specific problem or perhaps VIA ? (i'll try to test a VIA board).

[Mr.Scott]

I do remember. Just wanted to get it out there early to avoid any potential problems later.

Just being more pro-active.

 

On CPUz, yes, VIA board.  I have never had any problems with CPUz on the old platforms until the last round and this one. Both VIA boards.

I tested my K7V (VIA KX133) and everything works fine with cpuz 1.84

Yeah, I know. 

I figured out my issue.

Bad ram stick.

Was using the same ram is both rounds. Changed it out, no problems.

Funny how working shit just goes bad sitting in a drawer.

Thanks for taking the time to test Tasos. I appreciate it.

Focus on current Round-3

You have plenty of time for next round.

That date is clearly a mistype

Miracles !!!

I see miracles happening , in this round.

People are transforming ... and so does core types also !!!

 

[GRIFF]

What happen man?

Wrong cpu type in this sub. My error of digit. today I take pictures of the die.

[GRIFF]

Ok. Managed. 

To change the multiplier and the divisors of the cache, not having Goldfinger, I changed the position of the resistances on the cartridge as per this guide: https://www.ocinside.de/workshop_en/athlonresistors/

Great on-line guide , by that German site.

They keep a part of O/C history alive.

Something is wrong with Osibs.

GRIFF

With all due respect , i would like to ask you (regarding your latest submissions) , to provide in this thread , clear photo's of both sides of your cpu pcb.

Along with the sticker on board the pcb and the prints from the black plastic cover of the cpu.

 

[GRIFF]

Ok ok no problem. I have little time these days, but for the weekend I should succeed. I have to look for the plastic cover that I do not remember where it is. However for the next time, before writing that people change, ask, maybe answer is completely different.
